Showtime!

"Honk! Jr" is the musical story of The Ugly Duckling, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry cat, Ugly must find his way home. Along his journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.

North Hall High School's Hollow Horse Players present "Honk! Jr" on Thursday and Friday, October 6 and 7 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, October 8 at 2 pm. Tickets are $5.00. Performances are in the school theatre.

It's a wonderful show for little kids, a great way to introduce them to live theatre. This is a show you won't want to miss!

Whatcha Eatin'?

When our older daughter, Molly, went to work in Jackson in 2009, I made a blog of recipes that I thought she might find useful (click here to see Recipes for Molly in Mississippi.)

Now her sister, Rachel, will soon be going off to college and it's time to start a blog for her. I figure, initially at least, I'll put together recipes that can be fixed in a dorm room using only the most basic of appliances. Since she currently has a penchant for Middle Eastern foods, here's the first entry: Crock Pot Falafel.
